support the proposed annexation and development. Water lines can be extended from
existing lines along Woods Ferry Road. Any expansion of water lines would be at the
developer’s expense. Detailed plans and specifications for water and sanitary sewer shall
be submitted to the Gallatin Public Utilities Department for review and approval. No

Ferry Road, to and within the property at the developer’s expense. Detailed plans and

annexation, the City will maintain any proposed public rights-of-way. No existing streets

the Preliminary Master Development Plan for the Kirkpatrick Property
Development – which has been amended to include this property. As streets are
constructed, dedicated and accepted, they will become the responsibility of the City
to maintain.

Upon annexation, the City of Gallatin will begin collecting solid waste in the annexation
area based on the provisions set forth in the Gallatin Municipal Code. Any future residents
will also have access to city operated resource recovery programs and services. No
development has occurred on the property to date, hence no request for refuse
collection has occurred at this time. This will be accomplished as the property is
developed.

Upon annexation, the City of Gallatin will provide planning and zoning services, including
zoning enforcement, to the annexation area. Planning and Zoning services were made

protection which will be primarily served by Gallatin Fire Station #5. Upon development
of the property, the developer will provide fire hydrants in the annexation area pursuant to
NFPA Life Safety Standards as determined by the City’s Senior Fire Inspector. Fire Station

requirements including, where required, placing service lines underground. Upon
completion of any future street construction and acceptance by the City, street lighting will
be provided into the annexed area as required by GDE. No development has occurred
on the property to date; hence no expansion of street lighting or electrical service has
occurred at this time. This will be accomplished as the property is developed.
L. Gas
The Gallatin Public Utilities Department provides natural gas services to residential,
business, and industrial customers in the City of Gallatin and outside the City’s corporate
limits. An existing gas line is located in the vicinity of the property. The Gallatin Public
Utilities Department may authorize the extension of natural gas service from this existing
line into the property upon development at the developer’s expense. Upon authorization to
extend gas lines by Gallatin Public Utilities, the City will maintain and monitor such lines.
